Just launched: a free activity pack about @spacegovuk's mission to clean up space 🚀

The Active Debris Removal (ADR) mission is a world first. It will see a high-tech spacecraft use giant robotic claws to grab two dead satellites and remove them from orbit.

The pack includes:

Front cover of the Active Debris Removal activity pack. There is a large image of a spacecraft with a giant claw and Union Jack flag on it, floating through space. Text reads 'Active Debris Removal, The mission to clean up space, Activity pack'. There are logos for both the UK Space Agency and Association for Science and Discovery Centres.
